Police: Drunken man rejected for hugs, throws punches

 

The Press-Citizen • July 19, 2010

 

Police said a drunken Iowa City man went looking for hugs, but ended up dishing out punches instead Sunday night.

Iowa City Police responded to Town & Campus Apartments, 1100 Arthur St., for a report of a drunk man “being aggressive and punching cars,” at 9 p.m., according to a criminal complaint. After speaking with the complainants, police said they were approached by the suspect, 23-year-old Dominique J. Conway, who lives at the apartment building. 

Police said Conway told them he got mad after he tried to hug a man and got pushed away. Conway responded by punching and denting the hood of a Ford Explorer, police said. Conway also punched the “would-be hug recipient” in the face, causing him pain, police said. 

Police said Conway had a blood-alcohol content of .086. He was arrested and charged with simple assault and fourth-degree criminal mischief, a serious misdemeanor.
